"If you treat this place as a paradise, you will live forever in heaven. If you think of this place as hell, you will live forever in hell. "
This is Wu Zeling elementary school, her English teacher, Li Yan told the students. Li Yan first primary school teacher got back outside the city's English teacher. The young beauty of bouyei English teachers not only teach them English, and taught music.
Li Yan teacher at central elementary school, here is small. From grade one to grade five, teacher in a classroom, last year's class, the other grade can study reading. School House is tiled, raining, raining hard outside, and drizzle. 13 years later, she finished junior high school, high school, College, and then returned to the flat primary school, when she went to junior high school 13 years ago, a change at all.
Stand unchanged for decades on the podium, Li Yan's gift is to the students this is full of life.
Young Wu Zeling did not understand the meaning of these words until she can go to College, attending Sun team in South China Agricultural University teaching activities, she really understand English teacher Li Yan to tell them what this sentence means. So, with her primary school teacher, smooth sailing now elementary school principal Luo Dingguo contact, asking whether she could make Sun team of South China Agricultural University students to primary school of "sanxiaxiang" teaching activities. Teacher students in order to have a complete confidence in the mission, agreed the event.
Teacher tells students of Wu Zeling, Shenzhen Airlines months teacher to be smooth sailing, see if I can link up, eating and living convenience. Zhen Xiao, no accommodation of hotels, no restaurants, eat to live is a problem. In order to eat, before I depart for smooth sailing, Luo has been for me to reach the flat wave would encounter practical difficulties.
Wu Zeling a phone call to her school in Guangzhou and in Shenzhen, I know in advance, and have smooth sailing for half a month. Complex man machine War Council AlphaGo error
Tall skinny Wu Zeling speaks of her front teeth, gruff, very simple and very simple. Small size makes her look more like a high school, not college students. She was smooth sailing only to pass the South China Agricultural University, female students, but she did not show to be proud of.
Home visits at a time she took part in, she a native guide. Each time she described other students left behind in tears, home visits at a time back she's eyes red, cheeks cheeks.
I thought Wu Zeling like sad girl, so she just like tears, and experienced the feeling left behind as other students. When Wu Zeling took us to her house, I know this sophomore girl was starting from the pre-school stay, is the first left-behind children "after 90" children.
Also he Yang Xiang-rong Wu Zeling home set on the village village, living in the hillside. He Chang Rong Jia on hillside slopes, more than 10 minutes will be able to. Slope is smooth sailing behind, always when Wu Zeling from behind a hill over walking paths to schools. Two brick houses have more than 10 years, is Wu Zeling when in elementary school, my father came back from Jiangsu worked cover.
From preschool to College, more than 10 years of memories, dad with all of the family members to meet for only a short period of times. How many times do? 7 times? 8 times? Wu Zeling cannot specifically remember this time. Meeting could recall was a dad on sister. Then sister who just entered junior high school, father came home dedicated to send sisters to go to school, Dad gave my sister on the road called "Dad", and sister father talking to sister, sister says father gave my sister a carrying bag, my sister does not carry. Sister irresistible character father angry, smoothly with my sister and Dad gave a slap on his face without expression. Sister angry at his father, and then his face in school, never to ignore dad. "Dad" to call out the warm words in sister's heart has died, she also want to think about. Duyun, sister never graduated from junior high school to work, little old help mothers bear the burden, taking care of the three children of the family. Sister watches in duyun, boutique shops, hundreds of Yuan per month, Wu Zeling save up the money to buy nice clothes, buy snacks and pocket money to Wu Zeling and brother. Sister didn't get Daddy to take care of all the love, care, through young shoulders and hard work to the sister and brother in the family. Sister Wu Zeling growth resumes, scenes are engraved in the memories, all the tears when she was growing up.
Wu Zeling with my sister in character, docile, obedient. Because my sister's rebellion, see references in sister, little Wu Zeling know, converse, get is domestic violence. She was smart, sensible, helping my mother with the housework, take care of brother, home living, living in the fields, Wu Zeling, rushing to do it. When on the first day, Wu Zeling need to boarding school, every Sunday, a week from her home on the back of the meters, again after wing town Hill Road in the flat middle school. Often without a man in the family, in the countryside will be bullied by others. In secondary school, Wu Zeling was often bullied by boys in the class. Each school junior dormitory, Wu Zeling dormitory door cannot be opened, the boys locked the door, she only cried out. In summer, but in winter, shivering little Wu Zeling, not like cold, still cannot find a teacher to complain.
If the teacher knows, boys receive criticism, Wu Zeling will be increased suffering. Soft tenacity more than solid rock, in this environment, Wu Zeling is a first-year grades in junior high school. Junior high school have unbearable memories, also have happy memories, the memory is the only time to be with dad.
Dad money back House work in Jiangsu, grew up in a old House can't get original brother slept in the same bed with the family. Father, make their own work, and Leung, bricklaying, cement, Wu Zeling summer help dad pick out ash, moving bricks, doing small jobs. 12 years old she can move 7 blocks in 20 meters distance, and quickly to and from.
Dad never smile, Wu Zeling on the first day of summer, building a new House on the site, Dad worked out only smiles, sometimes sing a song, humming tune.
This is Wu Zeling happy and warm in the summer, enjoy the beautiful summer of love on her own. Heavy manual labor so that the little girl feel is another kind of tired after happiness, father, father's world should look like this.
House, between the two, separated brother. There are foundations of the two blocks to wait for the father to earn money to cover up. The first 10 years, Dad came back in 10 years and occasionally, but not to build new houses on the vacant ground. Old dad, working outside doing physical labor is no longer as powerful as a young man, is not as easy to make money.
When you test, Dad home with Wu Zeling. But Dad busy did not come back.
After high school in duyun, Wu Zeling no longer want to give Dad a call when the father telephoned her silence to say anything. Every time she heard dad said on the phone, talk, why not speak.
Father cries on the phone, she could not hear, in front of her picture stays on the first day of summer, the blue sky, white clouds, green-covered slopes in the summer at the age of 12 memory, remained in her mind forever.
Freshman year, when she heard villagers saying, Dad in Jiangsu did not work, handyman, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, some say doing small jobs on site. Father has rheumatism, always in the humid climates of the South leg hurts.
These are listening to what people say, my father said nothing to them outside the city do, also failed to mention say he is ill, and never allowed his family to work the city to see him.
In rural areas, the father worked away from too many people don't go home for a long time, children in rural areas have become used to not father, or not living at home with MOM and dad. Pay only when they grow up they can understand their parents hard.
Fortunately, Wu Zeling home with MOM, a mother's love, or at least her life than MOM and dad are not around children to be better.
In freshman year when Wu Zeling, tuition fees, living expenses and other incidental expenses, one semester require more than 10,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan a year. Two 30,000 yuan to repair their homes vacant houses, while the cost of this is she needs to go to school. Only the father worked out for her to stay in school, if not dad working out, she may have no chance to even go to College. Sister has married and not let sister pay her tuition. And she's going to College, you have to spend, it's not general overhead. School fees are money, school of hydropower for money, call money, accommodation, dinner money, buy daily necessities for money, everything needs money ... ... These overhead in high school, in college together and all of a sudden, for Wu Zeling is a very heavy burden and stress. Whenever students are happily back home money from cash machines, shopping for cell phones, better food, pleasure consumption, Wu Zeling is afraid to see this scene.
Life, slowly to understand the father behind the grumpy bear all the pressure. When father sent her living expenses each month, she would shed tears for 1500 displayed on the mobile phone number. The 1500 Yuan, Daddy need to scrimp and save, save, Wu Zeling enough for living expenses.
Home visits each into smooth sailing when the left-behind children's home, Wu Zeling wipe the tears she had secretly reproducing of all life, she saw the left-behind children in today's situation, thinking of his past were forced to stay the same. On Wu Zeling's home, I finally read this little girl through childhood without father, also read all openings to tell her story. Behind those heavy growth story in the Hill, a little bit toward the far horizon. She could have forgotten something, or she can quietly when you come to think of it, she is a mature woman.
Mother opened as you make wine, Wu Zeling placed in front of each teacher. Touch of color is the original color of the grape, sweet, spicy. The strong mother with three children alone, without husbands often accompany moments of growing old. She did not complain in the face of aging, no hatred, no blame, no decay. Her only on the slopes of her youth in the two houses and crops consumed outside the mountain, she consumes is a young woman's life, is giving her three children a year company. Maybe she can see that her husband is just behind the mountains every day, with her work, take the kids.
Her husband accompanied her through the same youth, the same age, also consumed the man's life.
Mountain behind Miss and Miss, also Wu Zeling youth are experiencing now, she knows the mountain behind the distant father has been fixed on her on the first day of summer has been that happy time ticks every day in her future growth. Her every day on these wonderful memories, deep back, a little plump her thin youth, thin body, thin dreams.
